It's a disagreement about personhood.

No one disagrees that an embryo is biologically alive.

We each have trillions of living organisms inside of us right now as we sit and talk in the sanctuary.

So the question is, is an embryo a legal person whose rights trump those of a woman?

I don't know many people

who would seriously answer yes to that question.

Legal personhood evolves with life, and life is change without clear or definite boundaries.

But the only way we can allow the rights of an embryo to trump the rights of a woman is if we believe a woman is not a full person.

And let me remind you that that has been the default belief throughout most of human history.

Being Christian

and being pro-choice are absolutely consistent because Christianity is a feminist religion.

Are you OK with voter ID?

So voter ID is currently required in the state of Texas.

I opposed having to.

How about for mail-in ballots?

How about having to send your ballot in?

Should you have to prove who you are?

Because that's what Democrats are opposing.

Pete, I just said I oppose voter ID.

Currently, it's a law in Texas, but I oppose that law because I think you don't need it.
